Face Masks Dermatologists Swear By

Forget the image of gentle, pampering treatments with cucumber-covered eyes. Whether you're fighting blemishes or calming irritated skin, masks can expedite results. But, beware, not any mask will do. Look for concentrated solutions containing powerful, highly-purified ingredients with corrective problem-solvers. (Cucumbers optional.)

Concern: Blemishes and Breakouts
Solution:
Clear Mask by COSMEDIX


For those battling acne-prone, oily and combination skin, every day is a struggle to maintain balance. Most problem skin regimens focus on keeping skin clean and pores clear of dirt and impurities. Exfoliation is a key part of this process sloughing away dead skin cells and other things that can clog pores and trigger breakouts. Clear by COSMEDIX targets pore-clogging debris and clarifies skin with a concentrated blend of salicylic acid €” a known blemish-fighting beta hydroxy acid €” purifying sulfur and highly absorbent minerals. Used weekly (more frequently for excessively oily skin), this detoxifying mask can augment your daily clarifying regimen for more dramatic results in less time.

Concern: Dull Skin
Solution:
Pure Enzymes By COSMEDIX


It can take up to 28 days for your skin to turn over. That number increases with age. As dead skin cells accumulate, it can leave your complexion looking dull. Regular exfoliation can help reestablish its youthful vibrancy. Pure Enzymes uses natural cranberry enzymes and lactic acid to gently melt away dead skin and enhance turnover for a younger-looking radiance. Used alone or as a complement to other exfoliating treatments, this plant-based mask is ideal for all skin types, particularly those with signs of premature aging or with congested skin.
